Section 461 lists specific acts that make proceedings completely void (not merely irregular) even if done in good faith. Attachment of property (S.83) without legal authority is one such act — it cannot be cured or saved.

1. 1 Pick up CrPC.
2. 2 Go to Section 461 — Irregularities which vitiate proceedings.
3. 3 Read clause (a): 'if any Magistrate, not being empowered by law, attaches and sells property under section 83, his proceedings shall be void.'
4. 4 Property attachment under S.83 without authority = VOID proceedings.

The text reads: Section 461(a): Attachment of property under S.83 by unauthorized Magistrate = void proceedings.
